There has been a significant increase in private investment and a marked turn-around in agriculture, industry and construction. The primary focus of the Bank program during the remainder of the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) period will be to consolidate the progress made to date against the CPS outcomes, support the achievement of those outcomes, and target specific needs that have emerged during the first part of the CPS period. Consultations with the Government centered on how the Bank could best respond to pressing needs and focus the program during the remainder of the CPS period. Particular attention will be on better targeting of social safety net programs and ensuring that economic growth benefits the most vulnerable.
